" Crying is gg to make ur pizza salty...u can forget abt the powdered cheese..."

had a long time taking many photos..with lots of memories behind these photos...worth it...

Reflection:am i feeling sad or happy?? or even worst...nth...i dunno...im so confused...but...seeing some of the other band mates crying...i also have the feeling to join with them....more than 3 yrs i had spent on this band...i knew it was quite a tough journey...but..i just didnt feel the sufferings of those past days....it seemed just like watching a movie..a long one...with selected scenes...with great details...except...the fact that the feeling is not repeated...

but...really want to thank Ms Lim, Mr Toh, alummi ( WeiPeng,GuoXian, etc)...for guiding the band and fostering us...and also had so much fun...also thanks to the other past teachers-in-charge too...

to ms lim & mr toh: i really owed both of u alot...whenever we make mistakes...we were given chances(esp. the SYF 2005..really want to cry)...and of coz punishment...Without ms lim's effort..the band wouldnt have gone to thailand ....and i wouldnt have so much fun...and pictures taken..(although im still wasnt a photofreak yet at tt time)...also...thanks to mr toh..for teaching me musically..plus some other principles of life...

and i believed tt "musicians are more intelligent than the others"....

" have i really put band as my first piority?? .... "

those moments and memories in the new and old school...band rooms...band stores( me, zong yi, and the key story) ..band camps..band practices...i just didnt manage to capture them... its so ke xi...

the night ended at GV carpark..where 'Inferno Affairs" had taken place....haha...

Appasionato II

the concert is finally today!! we had waited for it so long...plus the past practices...really worked very hard for it...

at VCH...ms lim was there to help us sew a few dropped off buttons...and mine dropped off one..hehe..

" Ring....." concert starting soon...quick...get ready....
and just minutes before the concert...me,sd,zy,jason,ferran...all go back to the toilet to check on our hair...and do some final touches on them..haha...we must have really being vain..this also apply to others ba...cos tt night was my first time seeing ming ching styling his hair...lolz..




must have been quite nervous...but first half went quite gd...happy tt my solo part was more of a success...haha...yeah!!! Passion Brass was able to perform too....

2nd half was even nicer...coz there is more upbeat pieces...esp Disco Party 3....weipeng solo is nice....whole audience start screaming...haha...
plus...the spongebob sq pants song and shao nian shi dai...wanpeng really handled the teaching task well...lolx...

the concert was unforgetable...esp when watson conducted us for ' U raise me up'.... so 'cool'...ok....

at backstage...flowers were receieved from my section mates...thank u guys...photos were taken....feeling very tired and happy... sianz that there is school the next dae....

the beginning

ok...i think i started blogging a bit too late le... well...although i had lots of pic taken on special occasions.... i think those true feelings are fading away in my mind...how to preserve them?? at least i hope im in Harry Potter's world....where there is the pensive...store my memories...allow mi to recall those precious moments...haiz...im day-dreaming again....

tt's all for a start......
